This Iinvention vrelates to av socalled t-idouble grip clamp; and has for its object to providea clamp of this character .formed of a stripof metal of a length to have'one end folded about the ornament to attach the clamp thereto and its oppositeend portion 'of arlength to cooperate with` the vfirst end portion to grip and bind the base member between them. l 'Y A further object of the invention is to offset the second en d of the clamp from the plane of the folded first end'thereof to facilitate its grippingthe base member to sef curely attach the ornament thereto.

With these and other objects in View, the Y invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully'` dedouble clamp member attached thereto With scribed,"and,particularly pointed out in the appended claims.` v

In the vaccompanying drawings:` n A t Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the rear ofthe ornament Withzour improved its free end in position to bejfolded to en`-` gage the base member. s

Fig. 2 1s a perspective view showing `the* strip of metal having teeth at its ends and of a length to;V form our. improved double e clamp.

Fig. 3 shows this clamp strip' as,v partially bent into shape. A

Fig. 4 shows this clamp With one end por-v Vtion as folded about the ornament to bind sary to'attach the clamp rnemberto the ornament'by rivets, solder or other means, and

its parts together and its other end portion it istherefore found in practice ofadvantage ,to avoid this by forming one arm portion of the clampfmemb'eryof aflength to be folded about the ornament toegripQand bind? the parts of thev ornament together gandto also:

cooperate with the second" end portion ofthe l ornament thereon. y y t .l A

An ornament attaching clamp, comprising a strip of ductle metal of a length to Y have one end portion folded about an ornal mentto bind its parts' together and attach the elampthereto and having its opposite end portion of a length to overlie the first end portion and cooperate therewith to grip and 10' bind an ornament base member between them to attach the ornament thereto', and means on said opposite endportion for lockingly engaging said base member.

2. An ornament attaching clamp, comprising a strip of metal of a length to have one end portion folded about an ornament to bind its parts together and attach the clamp thereto and having its Vopposite end portion offset from the plane of that of the folded z5 first end portionand of a length to overlap said .first end portion and cooperate there withy to engage and vbind an ornament base .member between said end portions, and means on said opposite end portion fo-r loclrl i0 inglyengaging said base member.

3. An ornament attaching clamp, comprising a strip of metal of a length to have one end portion folded about an ornament to bind its parts together and attach the clamp thereto and having its opposite end portion oil'set fromthe plane ofthat of the folded first end portion and of a length to overlap said first end portion and cooperate therewith to engage and bind an ornament base 40 member between said end portions, spurs on one end portionto enter the ornament, and .spurs-on the opposite end lportion to facilitate attachment to thefbase member. 1
